Service+
Service+ is a graphical console for administering Windows services. It can start, stop, or pause multiple services together, edit properties such as startup settings, account, dependencies, name, and path, and terminate a nonresponsive service process without rebooting. Administrators can permit authenticated users to start services while preventing users, including administrators, from stopping critical ones. Service configurations can be imported and exported as XML for duplication, backup, or mirroring across computers. The tool also manages services on remote computers and can attach a debugger to a service process in one click. It is freeware, listed at free, and the plan specifies Windows only and x86/x64 support through version 4.5.60. The listed system requirements span Windows NT 4 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. Service+ is a native Unicode application available in English and French. The download page states that the application is provided without transmission of personal data. Active+ provides documentation, an FAQ, and a support form.
